My Week In Photos

This week we had a friend working down here from Long Beach so we went out and played bocce ball at the park, considering it was 75 degrees out! Man, I'm lucky to live in San Diego.


 

This is the little one I nanny for, I just love her.

 

Lucky and I watched my husband Brett skate in our alley. Not too exciting.



We finally attempted to make our own headboard after months of putting it off. This is the first project we've ever done together, and probably our last. I'm a bit too laid back when it comes to projects, and Brett's a bit too specific. i.e. we went to Home Depot without knowing the dimensions of our bed (my bad, I was just too excited).



It turned out pretty great nonetheless, and was relatively cheap. We made the entire thing for less than $50, including stain and hardware. I got those antlers two years ago at a thrift store in Morro Bay and I've loved them ever since.



I made "healthy" broccoli cheese soup and ate it for lunch all week last week. I say "healthy" in quotes because I still added cheese. I can't live without cheese. Recipe to come, soon.

Homemade Exfoliating Face Mask

I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for a good exfoliating mask to clean off the dead skin cells and give me a 'glowy' look. I saw on a few websites that baking soda actually makes a great gentle and natural exfoliator and is much less expensive than buying a fancy one at the store. I added a bit of honey, since it's a natural moisturizer, and it also has antibacterial properties. Raw honey is the best type of honey to use, however I didn't have any, so I just used what I had.



Ingredients:

1 tbsp baking soda
1 tsp water
1 tsp honey

 Mix all three ingredients and gently rub onto face in circular motion. Leave on for 5-10 minutes and rinse!
